This is my first grow on here in a while... This is in an attic about 5x5 space under 680 watts.
The room stays at a steady 74 degrees w/ lights on and 65 degrees in the dark

Hydrofarm 430w HPS, & a SunSystem 250w HPS
(2)80w flourescent shop lights w/ red/blue bulbs (need 2 be hung)
4in. 250 CFN CanFan exh.
(2) 6in. inline fans for intake

STRAINS:
(2)Crushed Velvet: (Blueberry x Blue Velvet) from RichardWilliams
(1)Blueberry: from Dutch Passion I believe but not sure
Threw in 5 clones off the 3 mothers flowering. Experimenting w/yields using plastic 20oz. bottles compared to 1 gallon pots

NUTES:
FoxFarm Grow Big
FoxFarm BigBloom
FoxFarm TigerBloom
FoxFarm ChaChing


WEEK 1 FLOWERING





WEEK 3 (Day 21)







Can anyone tell me why my leaves are starting to curl like that? The plants are all green and healthy, and have a PH between 6.2 and 6.7.....
I've cut down the nutrients to half strength and it hasn't helped yet.
ANY help, comments, advice, or CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM is greatly appreciated and gladly welcomed. Thanks in advance. Enjoy

It's from heat from the bulb maybe have a fan blow above the canopy It might be 72 in your room but below your bulb could be a dramatic temp increase it doesn't look to bad though good luck....

In my opinion the light was up enough so it wouldn't burn but i went ahead and raised it a little more. I had a fan blowing right at the canopy and when i had my hand under the hood there was very minimal heat. I havent had this problem in my other grows and i thought it was the light, but i wanted other opinions as well.

I added a SunSystem 250w HPS internal ballast last night and will be adding 1 more. My room was dropping below the comfortable temp level at night so this was the perfect solution. Along with keeping my temp. perfect, i added some much needed light and hopefully will get results. Ialsopurchased some FoxFarm ChaChing and will be adding that to the feeding schedule

Do my buds look a lil' on the smaller side for 34 days in? Oneof mybig plants had some heat stress on most of the branches and hasnt seemed to recover despite raising the light, feeding it some superthrive and overall just taking good care of her. ANY SUGGESTIONS??? HOW'S THIS ALL LOOK TO YOU?
